Kanaha Beach Park Highlight – Beautiful Maui Wedding Location
Kanaha Beach Park is a Maui gem that is sure to fill you with the Aloha Spirit! It’s our most overlooked Maui beach wedding location, but with its unique features and benefits, Kanaha Beach could easily be the best fit for your Maui wedding.
Our company’s founder, Karma Hill, considers Kanaha Beach one of the top sandy shores on the island! So there’s sure to be something extra special about it! With deeply hued waters paired against the greenery of the West Maui Mountains, your wedding photos will showcase a unique side of Maui that not many visitors have the luxury of seeing.
Where is Kanaha Beach Park Located?
Kanaha Beach is located minutes from the Kahului Airport and roughly 45 minutes away from the island’s popular resort areas. Its distance from the top hotels keeps many beachgoers and weddings away. That’s also what makes it such a great choice for a beach wedding, though. We’ve never seen multiple weddings at this beach like we have at our other Maui beach wedding locations. And on weekdays it’s easy to find a spot away from anyone relaxing or exercising on the beach!
Kanaha Beach Park Details
Kanaha Beach features a variety of backdrops and areas to explore! Located on the coastal line of Kahului, this location is a rare gem in the busy(ish) Maui city.
- 15 minutes from the Paia area
- 40 minutes from Kihei
- 1 hour or more from Lahaina
There’s plenty of parking at this Maui beach wedding location. Our wedding coordinator will meet you in the parking lot and guide you through the trees to the best spots for capturing your special memories. Morning hours here are vivid and blue, while sunsets tend to be a bit more subdued.
Other Considerations For Kanaha Beach
- You’ll only want to choose Kanaha Beach for a weekday wedding. Since it’s in the residential area of the island, it’s extra busy on the weekends when locals are enjoying the beach with their ʻohana
- With several parking lots, there’s plenty of parking at this Maui beach wedding location
- Kanaha can be a bit windy but we can oftentimes find a spot that’s tucked behind a hill to keep you and your guests out of the wind
- The park has picnic areas and showers to rinse your feet before you leave
- Kitesurfers can often be spotted in the distance and will use the beach to access the water
- Sea turtles are frequently seen in the ocean
- This beach is somewhat secluded on weekdays so there are days with very few beach-goers
At this Maui beach wedding location, the sun sets behind the West Maui Mountains, but sunsets here still offer dreamy and magical skies.
